Ingredients
Scale
For the crepe batter
- 2/3 cup oat flour
- 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Milk, as needed for desired consistency
For the filling
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat is best)
- 1.5 tsp sweetener
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
For the topping
- 1.5 tsp sweetener
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, maple syrup, egg, and egg whites until smooth and lump-free. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually add milk a little at a time, whisking gently, until the batter is thin and pourable but can still coat a spatula. Allow the batter to rest for 1-2 minutes to help it spread evenly when cooking.
- Make the filling: While the batter rests, combine the plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1.5 teaspoons sweetener, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well mixed. Set aside for assembling later.
- Prepare the topping: In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1.5 teaspoons sweetener with 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside for sprinkling over the finished crepes.
- Cook the crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Once hot, pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the center, immediately tilting and swirling the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden, then flip and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer cooked crepe to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed.
- Fill and serve: Lay each crepe flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon yogurt filling in the center. Roll up tightly and place on a serving plate. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener topping over the crepes. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- If batter is too thick, add milk gradually until the desired thin consistency is reached.
- Resting the batter helps create thinner, more delicate crepes.
- First crepe may be tricky; use it to gauge pan temperature and technique.
- Use non-stick skillet or a crepe pan for best results and easy flipping.
- Adjust sweetener type and quantity according to taste preferences.
